List of Splatoon live performances


The Splatoon franchise is a third-person shooter video game series developed by Nintendo. The series' music is portrayed diegetically, with fictional musical acts performing the songs as heard in-game in a constructed language. The most notable of these acts are three groups named the Squid Sisters, Off the Hook, and Deep Cut, each debuting in Splatoon, Splatoon 2, and Splatoon 3 respectively. These groups consist of idol characters that, alongside songwriting, also regularly inform players of available game modes and playable maps by means of an in-universe news broadcast. Their members are Callie and Marie for the Squid Sisters; Pearl and Marina for Off the Hook; and Shiver, Frye, and Big Man for Deep Cut. These characters have attracted dedicated media attention and been positively received by critics and players alike. Splatoon's soundtrack itself has been critically acclaimed for its distinctiveness and experimental nature.
Starting in 2016, Nintendo has hosted several concerts showcasing virtual performances by the three musical groups. These concerts generallly feature 3D holographic projections of the idol characters accompanied by live music, with real-world musicians performing the games’ soundtracks.
